Speak up! You can make a difference! You can act on the dual existential threats of loss of biodiversity and climate breakdown. As an environmentalist in Northern Ontario, I try to change the systems that lead to disaster. Join me with meaningful actions.

BREAKING: Today, the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPPIB), which manages over $714 billion of Canadians’ retirement savings, quietly abandoned its commitment to net-zero by 2050. This is a shocking failure of responsibility from one of the world’s largest public investors.

Removing Ontario's endangered species act poses a threat to our environment that Ontarians haven't faced before. Tell Premier Ford that it's not acceptable to remove protection for species at risk and their habitats.

Stop Bill 5 and the attacks on endangered species
The Government of Ontario must protect species at risk. Once these vulnerable plants and animals are gone, it's too late.

Fact-checking is what we need! CTV's Your Morning bowed to pressure from the Conservatives and dropped a fact-checking segment, but you can get your questions fact-checked here on BlueSky!👍
Over the next three (and a bit) weeks, @rachelgilmore.bsky.social and I will be checking the election facts at @nationalobserver.com.

If you see a promise that seems too good to be true, or a claim that doesn't sound right, let us check it out. Find us at [email protected].
We're very excited to announce journalists @rachelgilmore.bsky.social and Emily Baron Cadloff are teaming up with National Observer staff for a biweekly election fact-checking segment.

First post coming tomorrow! Follow for updates.

There has never been a better time for #Ontario to increase its energy independence with made-in-Canada renewable energy. We need to reduce our reliance on imported American gas and nuclear technology.

The Canada Pension Plan invests in fossil fuels, they don't care about the climate crisis or health. See ShiftAction's scorecard on pension plans - they give CPP a score of C-. Here's how you can tell the CPP investment managers to divest from fossil fuels.
